today was katelyns first game of her second season. the coach split the team into two. it is my professional =D opinion that katelyn was put on the lesser abled team. Well, today was morale boosting for her, because she totally rocked the soccer field! She (not the team) won 5-1. She was the only scorer. I was hoping for a double hattrick...just kidding. She played well. she was definatly more understanding of what she should be doing on the field. She made it through the whole game without throwing a tantrum/crying. just like the last minute, she was too exhausted to do anything else!
i had mixed emotions. the first part of me wanted to tell her that she was the best on the entire field and that she won the game for her team and that she was the only one out there that had any clue what she was doing. the second part of me wanted to tell her that she did well, i was proud of her and that she really seemed to know what she was doing out there. unfortunatly i went with the good mommy approach, and went for the second part, but since i couldnt control myself, i told her that she was the best on the field.
i was a proud mom who couldnt keep my mouth closed!
my other though about the soccer game, isnt origional. i forgot where i read it, but i will paraphrase it because i think there is truth to it. basically what i read was something about childhood obesity and the fact that the kids who are off the couch and on say, a socceer team...they run around for 15 minutes and then get a 500 calorie drink and snack break. why? cant they run around without a food reward.
and my thought is, why do all the parents bring chips/cheetos/etc and gatorade for snack break. what ever happened to water? and oranges or somethingg. i dont know what exactly i will be bringing, but it will more closely resemble water and granola bars/apples. makes more sense to me......
anyhow, the most important is that katelyn is the best and i love her so much!
